Prana and Breath Flow
Prana means life force. Prana flows through energy
channels like Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. These Nadis carry the currents of
Prana which flows constantly through the entire body, mind and senses. To
observe the flow of Prana one can observe the breathing pattern of a person
through nostrils.
If from the left nostril breath is flowing more in
comparison with right, then it indicates that Ida Nadi is dominating in your body.
If, there is higher flow from right nostril, that means Pingala Nadi is more
active. If there is equal flow of breath
from both the nostrils, it means Sushumna Nadi is active in your body and prana
is in balance mode.
When the right nostril runs faster than the left
then through active Pingala Nadi body is performing more physical functions
like: digestion process, blood circulation process, and others. During this state, mood become
extroverted and one feel more warmth in the body.
If the left nostril intakes more amount of breath
in comparison to right, then it indicates that the mind is introvert
active. Performance of mental tasks
become easier and efficient.
During night, often Ida Nadi runs faster, as body
temperature drops by 1 to 2 degrees. If,
Pingala Nadi becomes too active, one feels unrest and improper sleep. During
lunch if Ida Nadi become too active then digestive system slows down and one
may experience constipation.
